BBC Radio 4 Extra - Bombay's Beatle

Documentary about the soundtrack to George Harrison's film Wonderwall.

Sarfraz Manzoor visits Mumbai, meeting musicians chosen by George Harrison in 1968, to record a film soundtrack. From 2009.

Sarfraz Manzoor goes to the site of the recording studio in Mumbai where George Harrison created the extraordinary soundtrack to Joe Massot's psychedelic film Wonderwall (1968) - his first major solo project. 

He meets some of the musicians who can still remember when a Beatle came to work with them - decades before.
